This week, meditation teacher and author Kimberly Brown offers a loving-kindness practice variation to help us cultivate more ease and openness within the moment-to-moment unfolding of our lives. “Everything is impermanent. It's always changing, coming together and falling apart,” she says. When we can accept that not everything is up to us, and let go of trying to control what we can’t change, we can find more ease. This practice is a web extra in the October issue of Mindful magazine. In the feature, veteran journalist Caren Osten Gerszberg looks into the science and practice of meditating—not to push away your painful emotions, but to see and recognize those emotions with kindness and curiosity.
